- W607082890 abstract "Most mutations that truncate the reading frame of the DMD gene result in loss of dystrophin expression and lead the severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, frame-truncating mutations within the first five exons of DMD result in mild dystrophinopathy with expression of a N-truncated dystrophin. We have recently shown that this is due to activation of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) within exon 5 resulting in translation from an exon 6 AUG codon. We demonstrated that this IRES is active in patients expressing the N-truncated dystrophin, raising the possibility of the therapeutic use of this isoform. To explore this we developed a novel out-of-frame exon-skipping approach that uses AAV-mediated U7snRNA to efficiently skip exon 2. By injecting this AAV vector into a DMD mouse model carrying a duplication of exon 2 (Dup2), this generates a truncated reading frame, leading to activation of the IRES and synthesis of the N-truncated isoform. We now demonstrate that despite lacking the first half of the canonical actin binding domain 1, this N-truncated protein is highly functional. Intramuscular injection of the AAV1. U7snRNA vector into Dup2 mice results in high levels of expression of the N-truncated isoform by 4 to 6 weeks post-injection, along with complete correction of the physiologic and pathologic features as measured by Evans blue dye uptake, hindlimb grip strength, tibialis anterior specific force, and force correction after eccentric contraction. Notably, utrophin levels remain unchanged. This level of correction to that of control mice supports the idea that this novel therapeutic approach should be beneficial for the 6% of patients with mutations within the first five exons of DMD. The efficiency of this treatment in inducing expression of the N-truncated dystrophin in 6 patient cell lines with different 5′ mutations is underway, and will be presented as well.
